<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1279068, member: 26302&quot;]I would vote with the crowd as a cast before I could see it in hand. Its not the porosity as much as the soft details that should be there in the devices if a struck original. It could be a ground find, but until proven otherwise, (always a smart move with these types of coins), I would assume a good cast.</p><p><br /></p><p>I read once where these were extremely hot in the beginnings of the major US coin movement, (late 1850&#039;s), and many such desired coins were restruck and/or cast then. If it is a very old cast it could still be collectible in its own right.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
